Abstract: A novel beta-glucosidase ( BGL ) -producing strain was isolated and identified as Penicillium purpurogenum KJS506 based on its morphology and internal transcribed spacer ( ITS ) rDNA gene sequence . When rice straw and corn steep powder were used as carbon and nitrogen sources , respectively , the maximal BGL activity of 12 . 3 U ml ( -1 ) , one of the highest levels among BGL-producing microorganisms was observed . The optimum temperature and pH for BGL production were 32 degrees C and 4 , respectively . An extracellular BGL was purified to homogeneity by sequential chromatography of P purpurogenum culture supernatants , and the purified BGL showed higher activity ( V ( max ) = 934 U mg protein ( -1 ) ) than most BGLs from other sources . The complete ORF of bgl3 was cloned from P purpurogenum by a modified thermal asymmetric interlaced polymerase chain reaction . The bgl3 gene consists of a 2 , 571-bp ORF and encodes a putative protein containing 856 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 89 , 624 Da . The putative gene product was identified as a member of glycoside hydrolase family 3 . The present results should contribute to improved industrial production of BGL by P purpurogenum KJS506 .

Abstract: The rice BGlu1 beta-D-glucosidase nucleophile mutant E386G is a glycosynthase that catalyzes the synthesis of cellooligosaccharides from alpha-d-glucopyranosyl fluoride ( GlcF ) donor and p-nitrophenyl ( pNP ) cellobioside ( Glc2-pNP ) or cello-oligosaccharide acceptors . When activity with other donors and acceptors was tested , the initial enzyme preparation cleaved pNP-beta-D-glucopyranoside ( Glc-pNP ) and pNP-beta-D-fucopyranoside ( Fuc-pNP ) to pNP and glucose and fucose , suggesting contamination with wild type BGlu1 beta-glucosidase . The products from reaction of GlcF and Fuc-pNP included Fuc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , Glc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , and Fuc-beta- ( 1-->4 ) -Glc-beta- ( 1-->3 ) -Fuc-pNP , suggesting the presence of both wild type BGlu1 and its glycosynthase . Inhibition of the BGlu1 beta-glucosidase activity within this preparation by cyclophellitol confirmed that the E386G glycosynthase preparation was contaminated with wild type BGlu1 . Rice BGlu1 E386G-2 , generated from a new construct designed to minimize back-mutation , showed glycosynthase activity without wild type hydrolytic or transglycosylation activity . E386G-2 catalyzed transfer of glycosyl residues from GlcF , alpha-L-arabinosyl fluoride , alpha-D-fucosyl fluoride , alpha-D-galactosyl fluoride , alpha-D-mannosyl fluoride , and alpha-D-xylosyl fluoride donors to Glc2-pNP acceptor . The synthetic products from the reactions of alpha-fucosyl fluoride and alpha-mannosyl fluoride donors were confirmed to result from addition of a beta- ( 1-->4 ) -linked glycosyl residue . Moreover , the E386G glycosynthase transferred glucose from GlcF donor to glucose , cellobiose , Glc-pNP , Fuc-pNP , pNP-beta-D-galactopyranoside , and pNP-beta-D-xylopyranoside acceptors , but little to pNP-beta-D-mannopyranoside . Production of longer oligosaccharides occurred most readily on acceptors with an equatorial 4-OH . Elimination of wild type contamination thereby allowed a clear assessment of BGlu1 E386G glycosynthase catalytic abilities .

Abstract: A 525-bp BglII fragment was isolated from Oryza officinalis DNA ( accession W1278 ) and shown to correspond to a new dispersed repetitive DNA sequence with specificity restricted to a subset of the wild rice with a C genome . The sequence of the fragment was determined but it does not correspond to any sequence already present in databases . It contains several imperfect palindromes . Larger genomic clones ( 12-18 kbp ) were isolated and all contain sequences homologous to the BglII element . Analysis of these clones confirms that the BglII element is dispersed in the O officinalis genome . From one genomic clone , the sequences adjacent to the BglII element were subcloned and used as probes to demonstrate that the sequences flanking the BglII element are variable in different genomic clones and that some of them are also dispersed repetitive sequences . The genomic specificity of two of these dispersed repeats was evaluated and shown to be different from that of the initial BglII element . This analysis revealed a complex arrangement of various dispersed repeated sequences .

Abstract: Transgenic tobacco plants expressing the hyperthermostable beta-glucosidase BglB of Thermotoga maritima were generated with the goal of cost-effective production of the enzyme for the application in bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass . The enzyme was targeted to the cytosol and chloroplasts , where it accumulated to level of 4 . 5% and 5 . 8% of total soluble protein , respectively . The optimal temperature and pH of the plant-expressed BglB was 80 degrees C and 4 . 5 , respectively . BglB activity was preserved in leaves after lyophilization , but decreased by over 70% with drying at room temperature . When BglB was synergistically supplied in a 1% ( w/v ) rice straw with Cel5A for efficient cellulase conversion , a 37% increase in glucose was observed . This report demonstrates the potential of utilizing transgenic tobacco for mass production of BglB .

Abstract: Rice ( BGlu1 ) beta-glucosidase is a glycosyl hydrolase family 1 enzyme that acts as an exoglucanase on beta- ( 1 , 4 ) - and short beta- ( 1 , 3 ) -linked gluco-oligosaccharides . Mutations of BGlu1 beta-glucosidase at glutamate residue 414 of its natural precursor destroyed the enzymes catalytic activity , but the enzyme could be rescued in the presence of the anionic nucleophiles formate and azide , which verifies that this residue is the catalytic nucleophile . The catalytic activities of three candidate mutants , E414G , E414S , and E414A , in the presence of the nucleophiles were compared . The E414G mutant had approximately 25 and 1400-fold higher catalytic efficiency than E414A and E414S , respectively . All three mutants could catalyze the synthesis of mixed length oligosaccharides by transglucosylation , when alpha-glucosyl fluoride was used as donor and pNP-cellobioside as acceptor . The E414G mutant gave the fastest transglucosylation rate , which was approximately 3 and 19 fold faster than E414S and E414A , respectively , and gave yields of up to 70-80 % insoluble products with a donor : acceptor ratio of 5 : 1 . ( 13 ) C-NMR , methylation analysis and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry showed that the insoluble products were beta- ( 1 , 4 ) -linked oligomers with a degree of polymerization ( DP ) of 5 to at least 11 . The BGlu1 E414G glycosynthase was found to prefer longer chain length oligosaccharides that occupy at least three sugar residue binding subsites as acceptors for productive transglucosylation . This is the first report of a beta-glucansynthase derived from an exoglycosidase that can produce long chain cello-oligosaccharides , which likely reflects the extended oligosaccharide binding site of rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase .

Abstract: The bglu1 cDNA for a beta-glucosidase cloned from rice ( Oryza sativa L ) seedlings was expressed as a soluble and active protein in Escherichia coli and designated BGlu1 . This enzyme hydrolysed beta-1 , 4-linked oligosaccharides with increasing catalytic efficiency ( kcat/Km ) values as the DP ( degree of polymerization ) increased from 2 to 6 . In contrast , hydrolysis of beta-1 , 3-linked oligosaccharides decreased from DP 2 to 3 , and polymers with a DP greater than 3 were not hydrolysed . The enzyme also hydrolysed p -nitrophenyl beta-D-glycosides and some natural glucosides but with lower catalytic efficiency than beta-linked oligosaccharides . Pyridoxine 5-O-beta-D-glucoside was the most efficiently hydrolysed natural glycoside tested . BGlu1 also had high transglucosylation activity towards pyridoxine , producing pyridoxine 5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside in the presence of the glucose donor p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucoside .

Abstract: The structures of rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase , a plant beta-glucosidase active in hydrolyzing cell wall-derived oligosaccharides , and its covalent intermediate with 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucoside have been solved at 2 . 2 A and 1 . 55 A resolution , respectively . The structures were similar to the known structures of other glycosyl hydrolase family 1 ( GH1 ) beta-glucosidases , but showed several differences in the loops around the active site , which lead to an open active site with a narrow slot at the bottom , compatible with the hydrolysis of long beta-1 , 4-linked oligosaccharides . Though this active site structure is somewhat similar to that of the Paenibacillus polymyxa beta-glucosidase B , which hydrolyzes similar oligosaccharides , molecular docking studies indicate that the residues interacting with the substrate beyond the conserved -1 site are completely different , reflecting the independent evolution of plant and microbial GH1 exo-beta-glucanase/beta-glucosidases . The complex with the 2-fluoroglucoside included a glycerol molecule , which appears to be in a position to make a nucleophilic attack on the anomeric carbon in a transglycosylation reaction . The coordination of the hydroxyl groups suggests that sugars are positioned as acceptors for transglycosylation by their interactions with E176 , the catalytic acid/base , and Y131 , which is conserved in barley BGQ60/beta-II beta-glucosidase , that has oligosaccharide hydrolysis and transglycosylation activity similar to rice BGlu1 . As the rice and barley enzymes have different preferences for cellobiose and cellotriose , residues that appeared to interact with docked oligosaccharides were mutated to those of the barley enzyme to see if the relative activities of rice BGlu1 toward these substrates could be changed to those of BGQ60 .

[ Sen. 1, subscore: 1.00 ]: The structures of rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase , a plant beta-glucosidase active in hydrolyzing cell wall-derived oligosaccharides , and its covalent intermediate with 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucoside have been solved at 2 . 2 A and 1 . 55 A resolution , respectively . The structures were similar to the known structures of other glycosyl hydrolase family 1 ( GH1 ) beta-glucosidases , but showed several differences in the loops around the active site , which lead to an open active site with a narrow slot at the bottom , compatible with the hydrolysis of long beta-1 , 4-linked oligosaccharides . Though this active site structure is somewhat similar to that of the Paenibacillus polymyxa beta-glucosidase B , which hydrolyzes similar oligosaccharides , molecular docking studies indicate that the residues interacting with the substrate beyond the conserved -1 site are completely different , reflecting the independent evolution of plant and microbial GH1 exo-beta-glucanase/beta-glucosidases . The complex with the 2-fluoroglucoside included a glycerol molecule , which appears to be in a position to make a nucleophilic attack on the anomeric carbon in a transglycosylation reaction . The coordination of the hydroxyl groups suggests that sugars are positioned as acceptors for transglycosylation by their interactions with E176 , the catalytic acid/base , and Y131 , which is conserved in barley BGQ60/beta-II beta-glucosidase , that has oligosaccharide hydrolysis and transglycosylation activity similar to rice BGlu1 . As the rice and barley enzymes have different preferences for cellobiose and cellotriose , residues that appeared to interact with docked oligosaccharides were mutated to those of the barley enzyme to see if the relative activities of rice BGlu1 toward these substrates could be changed to those of BGQ60 .

Abstract: Rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase is an oligosaccharide exoglucosidase that binds to six beta- ( 1-->4 ) -linked glucosyl residues in its active site cleft . Here , we demonstrate that a BGlu1 E176Q active site mutant can be effectively rescued by small nucleophiles , such as acetate , azide and ascorbate , for hydrolysis of aryl glycosides in a pH-independent manner above pH5 , consistent with the role of E176 as the catalytic acid-base . Cellotriose , cellotetraose , cellopentaose , cellohexaose and laminaribiose are not hydrolyzed by the mutant and instead exhibit competitive inhibition . The structures of the BGlu1 E176Q , its complexes with cellotetraose , cellopentaose and laminaribiose , and its covalent intermediate with 2-deoxy-2-fluoroglucoside were determined at 1 . 65 , 1 . 95 , 1 . 80 , 2 . 80 , and 1 . 90A resolution , respectively . The Q176Nepsilon was found to hydrogen bond to the glycosidic oxygen of the scissile bond , thereby explaining its high activity . The enzyme interacts with cellooligosaccharides through direct hydrogen bonds to the nonreducing terminal glucosyl residue . However , interaction with the other glucosyl residues is predominantly mediated through water molecules , with the exception of a direct hydrogen bond from N245 to glucosyl residue 3 , consistent with the apparent high binding energy at this residue . Hydrophobic interactions with the aromatic sidechain of W358 appear to orient glucosyl residues 2 and 3 , while Y341 orients glucosyl residues 4 and 5 . In contrast , laminaribiose has its second glucosyl residue positioned to allow direct hydrogen bonding between its O2 and Q176 Oepsilon and O1 and N245 . These are the first GH1 glycoside hydrolase family structures to show oligosaccharide binding in the hydrolytic configuration .

Abstract: Development of specialized epidermal cells and structures plays a key role in plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses . In the paddy field , the bright green leaf ( bgl ) mutants of rice ( Oryza sativa ) exhibit a luminous green color that is clearly distinguishable from the normal green of wild-type plants . Transmission and scanning electron microscopy revealed that small cuticular papillae ( or small papillae ; SP ) , nipple-like structures , are absent on the adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces of bgl mutants , leading to more direct reflection and less diffusion of green light . Map-based cloning revealed that the bgl locus encodes OsRopGEF10 , one of eleven OsRopGEFs in rice . RopGEFs ( guanine nucleotide exchange factors for Rop ) activate Rop/Rac GTPases , acting as molecular switches in eukaryotic signal transduction by replacing the bound GDP ( inactive form ) with GTP ( active form ) in response to external or internal cues . In agreement with the timing of SP initiation on the leaf epidermis , OsRopGEF10 is most strongly expressed in newly developing leaves before emergence from the leaf sheath . In yeast two-hybrid assays , OsRopGEF10 interacts with OsRac1 , one of seven OsRac proteins ; consistent with this , both proteins are localized in the plasma membrane . These results suggest that OsRopGEF10 activates OsRac1 to turn on the molecular signaling pathway for SP development . Together , our findings provide new insights into the molecular genetic mechanism of SP formation during early leaf morphogenesis .
